Find and fix Memory Leaks in Windows 11/10

A Memory Leak is a misplacement of resources in a computer program due to faulty memory allocation. It happens when a RAM location not in use remains unreleased. A memory leak is not to be confused with a space leak, which refers to a program using more RAM than necessary. A memory leak on a Windows system is said to have occurred when the memory is just not accessible despite not being in use.

A memory leak is bad because it is a bug, a flaw in the system. But let’s find out how exactly it affects the system:

1] Since the memory is not freed even when not in use, it results in memory depletion.

2] Exhaustion of the memory results in software aging.

3] Reduced available memory leads to increased response time and poor performance by the system.

4] An unchecked memory leak can eventually lead to the crash of an application.
